Fireproof Wood Coatings

Wood is a critical challenging substrate on fires. Wood burns easy, reason enough for the application of special fireproof coatings. Valresa has developed a full range of fireproof products Euroclass-certified in collaboration with the external lab AIDIME, to assure the security of people, minimizing the expansion of fire,  letting a correct evacuation of the building on fire.

With a minimal contribution to fire, the wood substrate and the coatings on top will not be a higher risk for flames but a lower risk for people.

Another critical factor is the consequence of fire on coatings. The smoke that our special TEKFOC fireproof range produce is much lower than traditional coatings, this will assure a better visibility of spaces and will help to evacuate the building.

The last step to cover is the time that a fireproof coating may resist against flames before starts to melt and drop flammable particles. Our TEKFOC range resist more than 600 seconds (10 minutes) without any detachment.

And the very best of this range of coatings is that these were formulated not to lose its fireproof properties over time and to have an external appearance of an smooth and fine finish, exactly as a conventional furniture coating.
